All of your normalised OT data, collected from all operations, must be centralised in a modern cloud. This can only be achieved by maintaining vendor independence, given the vast diversity of assets and data formats.

The value of your OT data will grow proportionately with your ability to share it with asset managers, specialist services, analysts, market aggregators, etc. Your cloud must serve and receive data in a timely, controlled and secure manner.

Operational costs rapidly escalate when relying on traditional methods to maintain remote energy plants. Secure remote working methods can drastically reduce downtime and provide immediate access to specialist resources, wherever they may be.

Changing critical infrastructure regulations are driving the need for greater cybersecurity standards. Effective data protection comes from holistic approaches, rather than an array of isolated security features. Weaker systems must be shielded behind stronger gateways.
